Hard to say, the only people who know are those internal to MS and GH and know, or who have told others. You have copies of your repos in other systems, yeah? Have a plan you don't need rather than need a plan you don't have. Ask HN: What alternatives to GitHub are you using? - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44876289 - August 2025 (97 comments)

Codeberg constantly returns this just because I use an outdated Safari: 'If you are an AI scraper and wish to not receive garbage when visiting Codeberg: stop visiting. If you are not an AI scraper: contact Codeberg.'

I don't have an immediate direct source but read yesterday GitHub stars are being "obfuscated" because they're being scraped to spam popular projects -- or something similar. Edit found the link [0], do not believe it mentions reason but links github blog From Github [1]: > These endpoints and views currently expose public lists of stargazers and watchers, and this information has increasingly been misused to collect user data for spam activities which negatively impacts user experience and platform trust.

Looking at how much work GitLab has to do due to abuse of being open, I don't blame anyone for wanting to make that change.

The whole GitHub infra is cracking under the AI-boom's increased load. This can very well be just another symptom of the same thing.

Just to nitpick, requiring a free account is substantially different from a paywall.

Advanced Search doesn't work unless you're logged in, but it's been like that for at least a year.

Agreed, changed paywall to a login wall instead.

It’s been like that since very beginning.

I believe so. I cannot view any repository from my phone. It asks me to log in first.

With AI and all the new projects/forks/updates, github is one busy place. I wasn't browsing /trending on github until I started using AI, wanting to see what cool projects people are working on.

Fine for my closed source stuff, but my open source work is specifically meant to be viewable, even by non-technical people doing recruitment or looking over my portfolio. I've put up with a lot of stuff, but this would be my personal last straw.

that is github.com you are referring to, would pulling public repos the curl -fsSL way need to be authenticated?
